COMPLETING THE ASSIGNMENT

1. Click on your assignment from your WileyPLUS course homepage, or from the
Assignment area of WileyPLUS (if made available by your instructor.)
a. When you click on your assignment, you will be prompted to open it in a new
tab.
When you open the assignment, you will get a clear overview of the number of questions in the
assignment, your possible points, your due date, and how much time you have to complete your
questions. If you scroll down on the page you will also see the content covered in the assignment
and your assignment policies, such as number of attempts and question assistance available.
2. After reviewing the assignment overview, click on “Start Timed Assignment”. Please note
that while in the assignment, you will have a live countdown timer (ex: for a 30 minute
assignment, the clock starts at 30 minutes and counts down until 0). Once you start the
assignment the timer cannot be stopped. The assignment will need to be completed in one
sitting.
3. You will be brought to your first question. Once you have completed your question you
can either click “Save for later” (bottom-left) or “Submit answer” (bottom-right.) Please
note: you MUST click “Save for later” in order for your answer to be saved in the system.

4. If you click “Save for later” you will be able to change your answer before the timer expires.
If you click “Submit answer” you will no longer be able to change your answer. Please
note: as best practice please make sure you click "Submit answer" for all questions
before the timer expires. This will ensure that your work is correctly submitted and
counted towards your grade. Make sure to click "Save for later" on your last question
before the timer expires to ensure your work is counted towards your final grade.

5. Click on the arrow to move to the following question.

- You can also use the three-line menu at the top-right of your screen to move to a different
question and review your question list at any time.
 6. Once the timer runs out, you will receive a pop-up message advising you that time is up!
When the time ends, click OK, your saved work will automatically be submitted to the
gradebook. Based on your assignment policies, you may or may not be able to review your
grade.
